MarangArtocarpus odoratissimus

Marang prefers consistently moist soil but dislikes waterlogged conditions. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly during cooler, less active periods.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in container-grown plants.

Pruning for Marang is primarily for shaping and removing dead or damaged branches. This is best done after fruiting. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the tree.

Focus on maintaining an open canopy to allow for good air circulation and light penetration.

Marang is typically propagated by grafting, which is the most reliable method for ensuring desirable fruit quality. Seeds can be used but may result in variable fruit characteristics.

Grafting is usually performed on young seedlings or rootstock.

Young Marang trees in containers should be repotted every 1-2 years, preferably in spring. Move to a slightly larger pot with well-draining potting mix.

Mature trees are less frequently repotted and may require root pruning if they become pot-bound, but often thrive in the ground.
